Treo 750v, Palm remembers Europe

As you shall know all and, a few days ago was launched in europe the Treo 750v, exclusive contract with Vodafone. This new Treo is basically the Treo 700w appropriate to UMTS networks, the 3G technology that operates in Europe, other than the CDMA used in the United States.

There have been some changes, such as the elimination of external antenna, increasing the internal memory to 128Mb because we know that Windows Mobile is a devorador resources, and a curious lowering the clock frequency of 312 to 300MHz. It has also been changed from expansion cards to SD format miniSD, prevailing in the current smartphones. At least, the connector remains the same, so accessories other models are compatible. To leave no loose ends, here are the technical characteristics to complete:

The main complaints we had against the 700w still there: resolution of 240x240 ridiculous, does not have wifi (which Vodafone greatly appreciate), 2.5 mm mini jack for headphones. As I see this new European model as a step forward: Palm has not forgotten this market, and certainly appears an early version of the phone with Palm operating system, as happened with the 700w and 700p. The lack of wifi is something unforgivable, but until the gentlemen not the actual incorporation of wins, we can not do much more. The increase in memory, the camera of 1.3 Mpx and smaller size and weight of the aircraft, they are steps in the right direction. Even with all the criticism, I think a good team, and if in the future is a version with Palmer (ALP) and wifi, I think I would do it without thinking.

In CanalPDA wrote a series of articles motivated by the launch of this new phone, really interesting to understand many things: the difference between the American and European market (and its sequel), and a valuation quite rightly in my view the launch itself . Hopefully soon discuss the new Treo 750vp or call the Palm version.
